Chapter 401: Hunting the Demon King

Song Qingming also cherished this rare opportunity very much. Unlike the core formation insights he had seen in those classics before, a Jin Dan cultivator personally speaking out his own insights on breaking through the Jin Dan was a different personal experience for all the Foundation Establishment cultivators present.

After listening to this preaching by Chen Jinliang, Song Qingming not only learned a lot more about the Jin Dan Great Dao, which was originally somewhat ethereal, but also had many brand-new insights on his own cultivation. Even some problems in his cultivation that had troubled him in the past now began to have many different insights.

After coming down from the mountaintop, the sky had slowly darkened. Just as Song Qingming returned to the temporary cave dwelling and wanted to sit and cultivate for a while, a sound transmission talisman suddenly flew through the restriction and into the cave dwelling. Song Qingming opened it and found that this was actually a sound transmission talisman sent to him by Chen Laozu himself, notifying him to meet at Jin Yunge early tomorrow morning.

Regarding the sudden invitation from this Jin Dan ancestor, a trace of surprise appeared on Song Qingming's face. He also didn't know what this Chen Laozu had, and why he invited him to Jin Yunge again.

Since the Jin Dan ancestor came forward to invite him personally, Song Qingming naturally dared not refuse this bit of face. Early the next morning, he came directly to Jin Yunge.

Just as he entered the door, what surprised Song Qingming was that this place, which had been bustling for the past few days, was unusually quiet today. Except for a few clerks standing, he didn't see a single guest.

"Senior Song, the ancestor is waiting for you upstairs. Come up with me!" Seeing Song Qingming walk in, a woman wearing the clerk's uniform of Jin Yunge at the door immediately stepped forward and bowed to him.

Following this woman all the way to the fourth floor, Song Qingming arrived in a very spacious large room. Besides some shelves with sundries, there was a small magic array in the middle.

"Is this a teleportation array?" Song Qingming just took a simple look at the magic array in front of him and soon recognized it.

The woman nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "Entering this teleportation array, Senior, you will be able to see the ancestor. I have other guests to entertain, so I will take my leave first!"

Didn't expect that there was a teleportation array on the fourth floor of Jin Yunge. It seemed that the place this teleportation array led to might be near Chen Laozu's cave dwelling.

As a white light lit up on the teleportation array, Song Qingming was soon teleported to a room that was somewhat smaller than the previous one.

Just after teleporting over, Song Qingming immediately looked around and found that there was an open door not far from the room. After walking out, Song Qingming soon saw seven or eight cultivators standing in front of him. Not far from them, there were three figures looking at him who had just walked over.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you are here!"

Just as he walked closer, a cultivator among these people suddenly walked out and greeted him. Song Qingming looked closely and found that it was Fang Wuqian, who had stayed behind to listen to Chen Jinliang's preaching yesterday with him.

Not only Fang Wuqian, but other cultivators standing here were also Foundation Establishment cultivators who had entered the top ten of the Sword Discussion Assembly and were qualified to sit on the mountaintop yesterday.

The three figures standing not far from this group of people were none other than the three Jin Dan cultivators who had appeared in the trading society before: Chen Jinliang, Ma Hongshan, and Chu Fengping of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Seeing three Jin Dan cultivators appear here all at once, Song Qingming was also full of surprise. He didn't know what had happened, and why Chen Jinliang had summoned all these cultivators here.

After Song Qingming bowed and returned the salute to Fang Wuqian, he asked softly about the doubts in his heart. Didn't expect that Fang Wuqian, like him, had also received Chen Laozu's edict temporarily yesterday before coming here. Not only him, but other Foundation Establishment cultivators present were also like this.

Facing Chen Laozu's sound transmission invitation, they, like Song Qingming, dared not be negligent and came here one after another early in the morning. Because the people had not arrived yet, the three Jin Dan ancestors led by Chen Laozu had not yet explained the purpose of summoning everyone this time.

After waiting for a while, until the last two cultivators walked into the hall, Chen Jinliang walked forward with a smile and said to everyone:

"Fellow Daoists, that you can enter the top ten of this Mount Tuoyun Sword Discussion Assembly shows that you are all the best among Foundation Establishment cultivators. Today, I specifically invited everyone here, actually because there is a core formation opportunity that I want to gift to you fellow Daoists."

"Dare to ask the ancestor, what exactly is the opportunity?" Hearing Chen Jinliang say the words "core formation opportunity," the many Foundation Establishment cultivators present instantly exploded and asked anxiously.

Facing the urgent gazes of everyone at the scene, Chen Jinliang didn't seem to be in a hurry. He touched his long beard at the corner of his mouth lightly and continued, "A few days ago, I discussed with Fellow Daoist Ma and Fellow Daoist Chu and decided to move the Mount Dahei Mountain. If we can successfully kill that evil tiger this time, I have decided to use the materials on its body to refine a furnace of Yuchen Pills. Regardless of who you are present, as long as you are willing to follow us to take action, you can all get a grain after the elixir is refined."

Hearing Chen Jinliang say that he was prepared to move the Mount Dahei Mountain, the expressions of Song Qingming and everyone present changed again. For a moment, they fell silent one after another. Only Lin Yutian and that Fairy Qiudie remained calm.

Mount Dahei Mountain was located five thousand li northwest of Mount Tuoyun and had already penetrated deep into the Fuyun Mountain Range. This mountain was also a third-tier spiritual vein, occupied by a third-tier mid-grade demon king, the Black Flame Tiger.

This Black Flame Tiger demon king was extremely powerful and had come to the Fuyun Mountain Range near Song Guo from the depths of the Northern Border during the last beast chaos. Last time, this demon king, together with two other demon kings, besieged Tiexian Valley for two years, causing great pressure on the northwest of Song Guo. If Chen Laozu hadn't gone to help in time, it would be hard to say whether Tiexian Valley could have persisted until the beasts were defeated by its own power alone.

Hunting a third-tier demon king was not a joke. Song Qingming had been cultivating for so many years, and besides hearing that several demon kings died in the hands of the Xiaoyao Sect during the last beast chaos, he had never heard of any cultivator in Song Guo who dared to go deep into the Fuyun Mountain Range to plot against those demon kings.

Third-tier demon kings were not only powerful, but also had their intelligence fully opened after reaching the third tier. They were not as easy to deal with as those first or second-tier beasts. They would not only divide their respective territories to command the beasts below, but also form alliances with nearby demon kings. Wanting to hunt them was not an easy thing.

Moreover, some demon kings with larger backgrounds would choose to rely on a Nascent Soul demon emperor. If cultivators went deep into the Fuyun Mountain Range to take action against them without knowing the situation, it might directly anger the nearby Nascent Soul demon emperor and bring a huge disaster to the entire north of Song Guo.
